Wineglass Bay Lookout

Just visited Wineglass Bay Lookout in Tasmania — absolutely amazing! The view was breathtaking and the whole place felt so peaceful. It’s about a 25-minute walk from the car park, and totally worth every step.

You’ll need a Park Pass to get see this amazing view which is a reward after walking up the steep path with plenty of steps. A great way to build an appetite I think. Very windy today and a bit cool as it was an early start to beat any crowds, this worked out well as I had the place to myself! There was a 3 mast sail ship in the bay which was cute to see. Binoculars are a great idea. You don’t get the classic Wineglass Bay view that you see on postcards but it’s pretty impressive non the less

This is a popular lookout over Wineglass Bay in the Freycinet National Park. It can be reached by climbing and completing a 3km trek from the carpark up rugged coastal hills to a two level viewing platform. From here you can see the wineglass shape of the bay, the beach down below and lovely seascapes in the distance. It is a good place to rest for 10-15 minutes before making the trek back down or onward to the beach itself. After visiting the Lookout, many choose to climb a long stretch of steps down to the beach to enjoy leisure time there and/or continue with the full Wineglass Bay - Hazards Beach Circuit Track (11km). If you don't wish to do either, simply return the way you came and you'll be back to your vehicle in half an hour.

Well worth the walk. You can also see from the light house. If you can't make the walk to the lookout or the beach , take a drive to the light house and you will see the entry to wineglass bay. Their is also access for wheel chairs too. So everyone can. See it. Just know what you are looking at to be amazed

Wow. Wow. A spectacular view, and well designed to spread people out. There are a lot of people. The walk is a little strenuous but should be within most people's ability. The view across the bay and further down the peninsula is huge. You get a sense of the perspective of the place. Don't be surprised if your 16 year old doesn't want to walk the extra couple of minutes, but they can await your return, it's a loop track around the lookout. Parking might be hard on busy days, so get up early

Wineglass Bay Lookout track is a beautiful track, about 1 hour to complete the loop. I went on a fog day so I can't see the bay clearly but it's beautiful. The track is well mantained. Enjoy the walking with beautiful nature arround. There are a lot of car parking on the entrance but you'll need to buy a park pass ticket. I recommend you buy a full national parks pass so you can peace of mind to visit any parks you want. It's better price.

Incredible spot. Well worth the climb up. Takes about 30-40 mins from the car park. There are roughly 400 steps to climb as well as gravel paths. Scenery all along the way is stunning.

The return route took about an hour, offering beautiful views along the way. . The route to the lookout involves some uphill sections, so it’s not exactly easy, but it’s also not too challenging. There is another path for the return to the car park.
